Lyric

Born As Me

RIONTE

Somewhere along the way my heartbeat settles down

And I can finally open up to you, here and now

I’m talking about me—no more running away

They call it “just a phase,” a momentary doubt

“Wake up—be normal,” they say it out loud

“And if you don’t fit in, don’t call it happiness”

Still I believe—yes, I believe

I believe in this moment, right in front of me

Let this feeling reach you—see me, somehow

With sweaty hands I hold on tight, then let go

I tell you where I’ve been—everything I know

The me I was born as, the me I won’t let go

As years go by, they speak like they’re so sure

“This isn’t the real you,” with that look that turns me cold

It’s not who I could be— it’s who they can’t accept

Deep down I know, in this one life we get

We die and start again, again and again

Happiness is never waiting in the future

It’s only here—right now

So I believe—yes, I believe

I believe in this moment right in front of me

I’m not a “someday” version of myself

I’m only here—right now

So I believe—yes, I believe

I believe in this moment right in front of me

I’m not a “someday” version of myself

I’m only here—right now

In a world that twists and sways

My heart comes back again and again

Even if the tide pulls me under—still

I get back up—again and again

In this fragile, endless time

I believe this “now” is real, I know it’s mine

If I’m gonna say it out loud, it has to be “now”

Let this feeling reach you—see me, somehow

    Born As Me

    RIONTE

Its a ballad about nearly being pushed back by the word normal yet still believing in who you are in this very moment and reaching out with your own words.
